* FULLY BOOKED * Polymer Processing & Characterisation Workshop

Anton Paar Ltd is delighted to invite you to join us for this comprehensive workshop on Polymer Processing and Characterisation. Tailored for industrial scientists and academic researchers alike, this workshop will equip you with essential knowledge and practical insights into polymer behaviour – from raw material to final product.

Polymer processing is a cornerstone in industries such as plastics, automotive, packaging, electronics, and biomedicine. This workshop will provide an in-depth look at processing techniques and analytical tools to evaluate and optimise polymers during every stage of their lifecycle.

Prepare to deepen your knowledge and enhance your skills in polymer characterisation and processing!

Key takeaways:

• Fundamentals of polymer rheology and viscoelastic behaviour
• Extrusion and mixing techniques: parameters, troubleshooting and scale-up
• Spectroscopy techniques (FTIR, Raman) to identify polymer types and additives
• Moisture and viscosity analysis for quality and performance assessment
• Microwave digestion for polymer sample preparation
• Hands-on demonstrations with Anton Paar and Brabender instruments
• Case studies showcasing applications across various polymer industries

Topics Covered:

• Polymer Rheology – rotational, oscillatory and extensional testing
• Mixing & Extrusion – processing challenges and control
• FTIR & Raman Spectroscopy – structural identification and monitoring
• Viscosity & Moisture Analysis – critical quality attributes in formulations
• Microwave Digestion – advanced sample preparation for elemental analysis

Places will be limited to ensure a good ratio of delegates to tutors during the workshop.
